Military History

September 8–10, 1965. Indian forces at Asal Uttar, though hopelessly outgunned and understrength, destroy the Pakistani armour.


September 11–12, 1965. The Indian Army follows up on that great victory with something incredible—and appalling.


December 4, 1971. Indian forces march into Bangladesh; time is of the essence; the US or China, or both, could enter the war …


December 7, 1971. Jessore falls. December 16, Dacca falls. December 17, Khulna falls. The entire Pakistani Army in Bangladesh surrenders.


The Bugle Calls is a candid, racy, humorous memoir of a life lived in the Indian Army. A roller-coaster of a book, every lap of it is filled with sights and sounds of the military, and of independent India’s biggest wars.

Kiran Doshi

Kiran Doshi studied history, politics and law in Bombay before joining the Indian Foreign Service in 1962 for a 35-year-long career which not infrequently saw him tackling relations with Pakistan, always an important, exciting but ultimately frustrating task. He is the author of Birds of Passage, a ‘greatly engrossing and hilarious’ novel set in the world of India-Pakistan-USA diplomacy, and Diplomatic Tales, short stories written in comic verse. He lives in Delhi with his wife Razia.
